Would have been nice if the set was 4K + Blu-Ray.

Doing that would mean price would be very expensive and affect sales

These are not going to be cheap so having separate box sets gives better chance of selling each limited edition

Those that are not interested in 4K can purchase Blu-ray edition

I myself will very likely be getting the Blu-ray edition as I dont have a 4K TV

I can always purchase the standard 4K edition at a later stage if I eventually get a 4K TV

Why UK shipping only? They used to ship worldwide when ordering from their website. I prefer to support them directly, and their packaging is usually superior to others. Not good.

Second Sight Website will be UK Shipping for this release
It's to do with COVID-19 and is temporary until shipping around the world gets back to normal

Both editions will be available to pre order from other on-line UK retailers as it says in twitter post
Some retailers will have it listed later than others so give it a few days

Any info on pricing? They must have an idea by now when it's going up for preorder in 5 days........

 

[Tompa]

do we non UKers have to worry that it will be sold out directly before it shows up on other stores? I see a eBay scalpers material here?

Absolutely! I think I'm going to have to use a UK address here....

There will be stock allocated to other UK retailers so you be fine
Just pre order from Amazon UK/Zavvi etc as soon as they go live to pre order

Pricing will be known when it shows up on second Sight website

Other retailers might have differences in price

Paul, I think they have 5000 units of BR version, do you know about 4k UHD?

I not seen any info on print run for either 4K or Blu-ray editions

The usual UK retailers that sell second sight releases will be selling this

Diabolikdvd in USA also have said they will be selling it but will likely be a few weeks later than UK retailers.

As with all limited editions pre order as soon as it goes live so you dont miss out

 

[Tompa]

Yeah I wont play my chance.

 

[Jocelin]

Chance is high it will be ebay for me...

 

[MrSquifler]

Going to try and get this from Amazon if possible.

Not looking forward to the price though.

t.co

 

[BluSteel2012]

That's not the worst I suppose.

So the non limited editions will be cheaper then.....?

 

[Noodles]

Yikes! That's me out. Wouldn't pay that even if I did have the cash. Would prefer a slimmed down version without the hefty books that I'd probably never look at.

 

[MrSquifler]

Huh, cheaper than I expected actually.

 

[paulboland]

Price is actually lot cheaper than I expected would be considering what is included in each box set

You also have the possibility with likes of Amazon and HMV price be less by release date

I will 100% be pre ordering

Going by these prices for the limited editions what do you estimate the price of the non special edition will cost @paulboland?
